Recently stayed at 泊樂行旅赤崁 and appreciated the attentive staff and the luggage storage service they provide. The hotel is within walking distance of 赤崁 Tower and 永樂 Market, which is perfect for sightseeing and local food. The spacious lobby is a nice place to sit and relax, especially for short stays. Guests can also use the water dispenser for refills, and tea bags are available. Besides, the bathroom has separate wet and dry areas, which is quite convenient. The only drawback is that the room key is a traditional metal key rather than a key card, but the hotel offers front-desk key-holding service, which helps make things easier.

The scooter is very new and rides great. The owner provided the latest model, and it's very fast with just a slight twist of the throttle.

The hotel room was spacious, and the breakfast was excellent. It's only a 7-minute walk from the train station, so the hotel's location is fantastic. However, when we first checked in, the TV wasn't working at all. We immediately notified the front desk, and an employee was quickly dispatched to fix the issue. The service attitude was very good.

After purchasing, first reserve your desired visiting time online. On the day of your visit, you can enter without waiting in line at all, according to your reserved time! It's really convenient.

Cheap price considering the quality & variety of the museum’s collections and curation. There’s so much to see inside. The grounds are great for strolling as well. Highly recommended.

Recently stopped by 黃金婆婆, which is located near 赤嵌樓(Chihkan Tower), and tried their 黃金慢熟焦糖布丁(slow-cooked caramel pudding).🍮 Its pudding was surprisingly good—very smooth and rich with a nice egg aroma. According to the shop, it’s additive-free, which makes it feel a bit more natural and homemade. One thing to note: be careful when opening the cup, because the caramel sauce at the bottom is quite liquid and can easily spill if you tilt it. The pudding comes in a package of six bowls, and it’s ready to eat right after purchase, which makes it convenient if you want to bring some back to your hotel or share with friends. Overall, it’s a simple but satisfying local dessert, and since it’s so close to Chihkan Tower, it’s a nice little stop after sightseeing.

I also tried the tofu pudding at 韓金婆婆. Compared to the 黃金慢熟布丁(caramel egg pudding), it was a bit mediocre. The flavor was quite light and not very pronounced, although the texture was soft and silky. One thing to note: if you buy the package on Klook, it’s slightly cheaper than buying it in-store. However, six flavors are chosen by the staff, so you can’t pick them yourself. If you have to choose between the two, I’d definitely recommend the egg pudding over the tofu pudding.

The yacht hotel is truly wonderful! The scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere is great. There were too many people at the Egypt exhibit, and it was difficult to see the artifacts because they were small and mostly displayed behind glass, making it hard to get close to the crowd.
